Bryan Fuller has been named as the showrunner for the new Trek show coming on the CBS streaming network. I knew about a lot of his genre work, but didn't know he had actually written for DS9 and Voyager.

I didn't watch DS9 or Voyager much so I also haven't seen his Trek work. I am a fan of a lot of his subsequent efforts, though, including Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, and Wonderfalls though Hannibal ultimately wore me out. He certainly comes with a point of view.

He is an incredible producer; always full of ideas and even when stuff apears hectic, he never let staff be rattled. This guy is one the best people I've ever worked for. Anyone who has worked for him will tell you the same. Bryan Fuller is awesome, whatever the show will be, the staff will be on the ride of their lives.

I dunno, if, as this article speculates based on past interview comments, he did a series set at the time of TOS, with the TOS uniforms etc. on the Reliant, and just ignore the movies and previous shows...I think I'd be in for that. Just a back to basics Star Trek show.

I still need to see a pilot episode before I consider that Star Trek is back on the right track again after the disappointment that were the last two movies, and a lot of Voyager and Enterprise.

There are now a couple of people on the team who have a good reputation when it comes about Star Trek (and perhaps other products they have worked on), but Kurtzman is also on the team and in general I consider him toxic to whatever he is involved with.

To be honest, I don't know what the right time period would be. I am not actually that keen on a show set after STVI and before TNG for example.A show after Nemesis could work I guess but there would be a lot of fixing to, and I am not that sure new watchers would be interested.As for the new timeline, I find it rather a mess from what I know about the movies and the comics (but I don't recall if it was Orci or Kurtzman who considered the comics somewhat canon)
